Updated ppp packages available

Advisory:	RHBA-2002:037-04
Type:	Bug Fix Advisory
Severity:	N/A
Issued on:	2002-02-27
Last updated on:	2002-04-30
Affected Products:	Red Hat Linux 7.2
OVAL:	N/A

Details

Updated ppp packages are available for Red Hat Linux 7.2. These updates
fix a bug which hampered interoperability with other PPP implementations.

The version of pppd included in Red Hat Linux 7.2 incorrectly advertised
support for CBCP. If a peer attempted to configure use of this protocol,
the LCP negotiation and the connection attempt would fail.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains
the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
